Just to clear this up for the benefit of this thread. The aircraft appears to have been G-DBCE on the BA2768 on Sunday. The return 2769 operated without any delay and since then the aircraft has been back to JER twice and also been to EDI, TRN and AGP. Think it is safe to say she is in full working order.

Exactly so. When I think of landings at Funchal, the old Kai Tak, and Gibraltar, its quite laughable. Once landing at FCO. Tthe wind changed at the last minute and we slammed onto the runway, bounced back into the air and bang again. I was astonished that the aircraft wasnt damaged.
Our Captain said exactly that - a landing that you walk away from is a good landing. What I do find idiotic are these idiot applauding each and every landing as thought the Flightdeck could hear.

At any rate, I see that (in contrast to the OP's experience), there has been a very recent notable example of a true hard landing. There are no reports of injuries, although it wouldn't be surprising if there were some minor ones as the aircraft was evacuated via slides. Some photos follow the text of the report: Accident: Capital Beijing A320 at Macau on Aug 28th 2018, dropped nose wheels on hard touchdown

Just back from Jersey for the weekend
the Blue Islands flight certainly hit JER runway with a bang on Friday Evening.
They did a first for me they removed all drinks and duty free as the flight wss too leaded for LCY! So no inflight service!
Coming back on BA in the first row of CE was great fun and a challenge to eat my chicken salad and 2 champagnes in 30 mins.
Think the weather was calmer on Monday evening. There were a lot of cross winds over the weekend to explain rough landings

I think that most of us here are capable of recognising the difference between a statement of good aviation practice and an old aviation joke.

Slid off onto grass, colapsed planes undercarriagel, could not be towed out of too wet/soft ground. Closed NAIA main runway needed for widebody planes (secondary runway only ok for narrow body planes) 2days of cancelled flights ensued, Caused chaos. (Some inbound longhaul large planes diverted to Clarke/CRK)
NAIA borrowed crane from nearby HOTEL, one hotel had crane used for in air dining experience! https://www.wheninmanila.com/dinner-...mes-to-manila/
